How to Win a Jingle Contest (Aug, 1949)
Heh, apparently a good rule for creating a jingle is to pick a stereotype and exploit it:
"I used the second rule on popular sayings and made an apt comparison based on the proverbial thriftiness of the Scot:
Away the blithe pennies will roll When cold isn't under control. But, give Leonard a trial; Its bright Master Dial
Lemme try one:
In travel there is something new
An airline called Jet Blue
Fly on it and you can too
save money like a dirty ….
What's your stereotyped jingle?
How to Win a Jingle Contest
By Allen Glasser
CAN you write a prize-winning last line for that jingle at the top of the page? You can test your skill as a jingle genius on this limerick. It comes from an actual contest that the A & P Food Stores ran some time ago for their product Nectar Tea. You'll be surprised to find out just how much you don't know about composing the pretty little words that snag big money in advertising contests. Beat your brains with the dictionary, chase up rhymes with the biggest thesaurus you can find, then compare your masterpiece with the line that really copped the big cash prize. You'll find the payoff line printed at the end of this article.
Meanwhile, we'll try to give you the inside dope on how contests actually are won. As a matter of fact, you have as much chance of winning a worthwhile prize in any commercial contest as you do of winning the Indianapolis race in a Kiddie Kar—unless you know what the particular contest is all about, how it is judged and the special methods consistent winners use.
Contests, though, are definitely not phony. Since their operation depends on the U. S. mails, they come under the watchful eyes of the Post Office Department. So, they must be on the level. Sponsors offer prizes to promote the sale of their products, but that purpose is perfectly legitimate. Nobody can reasonably object to making a small purchase to compete for big awards.
Having won hundreds of prizes myself during 12 years of steady contesting, I can assure you that inside knowledge of the technique is essential if you expect to win. I had to dig up my own dope gradually through trial and error—for I am one of 50,000 regular prizewinners who follow contests as a hobby. I even met my wife, Selma, through our mutual interest in winning prizes. We are two of the more successful among 30,000,000 Americans who compete for a share in the $50,000,000 jackpot now offered every year.
Jingles, of course, are just one variety. Most often that jingle will be a five-line limerick with the fifth line left up to you. When you tackle a limerick, make a careful study of those lines the sponsor gives you for free. Repeat them over and over, so that you get the basic beat or swing. Try to grasp the plot or theme of the jingle so that your own final line will follow through logically.
Familiarize yourself thoroughly with the product involved. Buy it, use it, observe its qualities. Notice what the advertiser himself stresses.
The next step is to make up a list of appropriate words and phrases to describe the product and your reactions to it.
Your last line must rhyme with the first two lines of the limerick. It must also have the same rhythm or accent. But in addition to these purely mechanical requirements, you must give your line some distinctive feature if you want it to have a chance at the jackpot.
To add that winning touch, try one or more of these tricks which proved successful in countless limerick contests:
1. Put two rhyming words within your line or try alliteration—repeating the same sound or letter. This little gimmick won a Nash:
All your cleaning is easy as pie When Old Dutch is the cleanser you buy. It's new and it's quicker, And safer and slicker . . . Kitchen tools gleam like jewels the first try.
2. Take any popular saying, such as "Two can live as cheap as one." Change that saying to fit the subject, and you may win $500 as did the contestant who completed the limerick below:
When proposed to, a smart girl did say Can we have Pepsi-Cola each day? For I've set my heart on The six-bottle carton …
3. Dramatize words of opposite meaning. The prize here was $1,000:
High-test Oxydol's a delight, Said a clever young housewife named Wright. In my washing machine .
It gets clothes so clean . .. OLD OR NEW, LOTS OR FEW, COME OUT BRIGHT.
4. Use puns, or words with double meaning. Believe it or not, the following punny verse was worth a neat $500:
American. Buslines is new, We give fast, friendly service to you; Our bus fares are low Wherever you go . . .
OUTDOOR SCENE—INDOOR SEEN—EYE-DEAL VIEW.
Miss Mary Elizabeth Sautner of Queens Village, N. Y., won a $50,000 "Dream House" with new Studebaker and Pontiac sedans in the garage for six short words that completed the last line in a jingle contest sponsored by the New York Heart Association last year. Here's the complete jingle:
While your heart beats strong and true, There's something great you have to do; Fight heart disease—help find the key . . . LET HEART AND HAND GIVE READILY.
Miss Sautner spent several evenings composing last lines and finally submitted three of her most distinctive entries. You'd think her contribution would be practically lost among the 100,000 other suggested lines. Her trick of alliteration, however, stood out among the flood of plain-worded entries and made a hit with the judges.
I haven't won any $50,000 prize myself for jingling—but I'm young yet. I did win a $1000 first prize though, for the line I filled in on the Leonard Refrigerator Limerick. Whether it's $50,000 or $1000, the idea's the same. Those rules I mentioned were the winning tipoff again. I used the second rule on popular sayings and made an apt comparison based on the proverbial thriftiness of the Scot:
Away the blithe pennies will roll When cold isn't under control. But, give Leonard a trial; Its bright Master Dial
Sometimes it pays to write your entry in verse even if the contest isn't advertised as a jingler.
Writing jingles really isn't very different from writing slogans or statements which form another big group of contests. If you want to dream up a prize-winning statement about a breakfast food, for example, you would go through the same process of familiarizing yourself with the product, then making up word lists to describe it. You might include in your list expressions such as these: nourishing, appetizing, tasty, tempting, hearty, zestful, savory, delicious, inviting, full-flavored, energy-rich and wholesome.
Now that you have your word-tools, you need a blueprint to guide you in building your entry from skeleton to finished form. Let us take a look at a few models that demonstrate winning ways to compose your entry.
The "Triplet Trick" has won more prizes than any other contest technique. Three consecutive phrases emphasize three special virtues of the product. For instance look at this $1000 winner:
"I like Royal Crown Cola because—my tongue likes the taste of it, my thirst likes the size of it, and my purse likes the price of it."
In slogans or statements as in jingles, alliteration often helps you take the prize. Here it is combined with the Triple Trick:
"I like Rath's Bacon because … it puts a Premium on Perfection, a Seal on Satisfaction, and an Emphasis on Economy."
In this way you can also repeat words similar in sound as you did in jingles.
You can use this Triplet Trick for any statement contest no matter what the subject. Once you've really learned how to use it, you will have a tremendous advantage over other contestants.

TeleGizmos 365 Series Cover for 3" - 4" Refractor Telescopes
Accessories Added

TeleGizmos 365 Series Cover for 3" - 4" Refractor Telescopes
TeleGizmos - 365 Series Cover for 3" - 4" Refractor Telescopes
The Tele Gizmos 365 Series Telescope Cover is designed with one thing in mind... To meet the most demanding equipment coverage needs. Imagine a telescope cover that will withstand outdoor extremities 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year! What makes the Telegizmo telescope cover unique is the multi layered/dual material design which incorporates the original TeleGizmo Solar Cover material as an inner radiant barrier coupled to an outer cover made of high count, acrylic coated woven polyester. This combination of materials produces an effective cover system capable of providing years of protection - protection that's backed up by a TeleGizmo Warranty.
Let's take a closer look at the image above...
Thanks to the inner liner radiant barrier, your equipment doesn't suffer from heat build-up on sunny days. What's more, the solar liner acts as an additional barrier from water penetration. On the outside, the polyester cover layer is the highest quality acrylic coated weave. No sissy material here. This American made fabric offers superior resistance to mildew and stands up against decaying qualities of UV radiation. Add to that exceptional strength and abrasion resistance. Unlike most fabrics, this combination provides less than 1% shrinkage or stretch. That means your TeleGizom 365 Series Telescope cover will continue to fit year after year after year!
If you're worried about trusting your expensive telescope equipment to just a cover, don't be. TeleGizmo has thoroughly tested their telescope covers above and beyond the call of duty. Can you imagine putting your equipment to the test with a 40 PSI, 1/2" concentrated stream of water? TeleGizmo did... And the telescope inside remained dry. The manufacturer exterior exposure rating for this material is 5 years. A year of strenuous testing in some of the harshest outside environments, including the desert southwest, Florida Keys, Colorado @ 8000 feet and the Texas Hill country has proven the 365 Series to be capable of handling all types of weather on a continuous 24/7, 365 basis.
Series 365 covers are warranted for one year from date of purchase including all labor and material. Continuous 24/7, 365 outside (full weather) exposure is covered in this warranty protection. If your cover fails due to either a manufacturing or material defect, TeleGizmos will repair or replace the cover during this warranty period. Proof of purchase required. This warranty is fully transferable. This warranty does not include coverage of normal wear and tear.
|1 Year Warranty

Hi, everyone. Since someone decided I should probably be a bit more proactive in reaching out to you, I thought now would be a good time to start up a
Article #1: The Fall of 4Kids
So, why should I start with 4Kids Entertainment? Because today, at 12Noon EDT, The CW 4Kids officially went off the air and will be replaced by Saban's Vortexx next Saturday. This effectively is the end of 4Kids Entertainment, a company that really got me started with anime and put me into the general fandom of anime.
Reading over their licenses, it's no surprise the amount of what we consider "classic anime" on there. Everyone would probably agree about the first 4Kids show that they probably have seen, especially if you were watching KidsWB in the '90s and early 2000s, was Pokémon. Between that and the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise, 4Kids already established a hardcore audience of kids and even 20- and 30-somethings who fell into anime just from these two shows alone. Adding to that is the broadcast licensing for other known favorites like Back To The Future: The Animated Series, Biker Mice From Mars, Mew Mew Power, One Piece, Shaman King, the 2000's version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and eventually Dragonball Z Kai. Even though they edited down shows through localization, they still were able to retain the original charm of the productions they handled and prompted many of us to check out the uncut versions from Japan, leading many into realizing that the uncut subtitled versions ended up being even better.
Even though 4Kids has been eventually sued out of existence, it will be up to the combined effort of Saban and Konami's 4K Holdings to pick up the broadcast torch and keep it burning. Like them or hate them, it can't be denied that 4Kids Entertainment started the fire, and Japanese anime both classic and new will remain alive and well thanks to it.

Many, many professional practices and clinics have multiple practitioners. Google Maps is all about the Place. In the past, Google has made it quite clear that there should be one listing for each business.
However, Google when assembling data about these professionals, often gathers both place and practitioner detail to create Places pages. Thus often there will be a clinic page as well as a number of individual professional places pages.
I have often wondered whether one should keep the individual listings or consolidate them into one to best conform to Google's guidelines and practices. Historically I have, when appropriate, consolidated the listings into a single listing. While that strategy consolidates all citations and reviews it often creates ongoing work. It becomes necessary to check the and purge the index as the individual listings continue to flow in.
I decided however, to get Google's "official" opinion on the matter so I asked Ari Bezman, Google's product manager for the
Local Business Center Google Places as to how Google thought this situation should be handled.
MB: What is Google's recommended practice in regards to handling the multiple listings that most professionals and clinics end up with?
Should we endeavor to have one listing for the practice Place and merge all of the doctors (or whatever) into the one listing or should a we endeavor to keep the individual doctor listings?
Ari: Each doctor (or other independent professional) should have their own listing, with one more listing for the clinic.
MB: A related question is that often the Doctor listings come into Google with a format of Dr Name: Speciality . Is that the preferred business name or is just the Dr. Name preferred?
Ari: The name should just be Dr. Name. The specialty should be in the category and/or the description.
MB: What about in practices (say legal practices) that have a ton of low level professionals who come and go but the practice really only wants to be known by their place and trade name. Is there anything wrong with them claiming the many spurious records into the master record?
Ari: It really depends what the individually "contactable" parts of a business are. We'd like to have one place page (and so one entry in Google Places) for each one of those. So, that definitely means one for the law firm, and then one for each department or professional that is willing to receive cold calls/emails/etc. from new customers. There's no reason to list internal/back-office departments or people. So I'd say it depends on the law firm and how they represent themselves in the real world and in other media.

2012-05-28: Information Station Column
We are already experiencing summer here at the library! The kids are out of school and they are in the library! We LOVE that! I can't think of a better place to spend your summer anyway – which made me want to take a minute and share some fun tidbits about our upcoming summer!
Do not miss our Adult Summer Reading Program! You can begin to sign up June 4 and I can guarantee it will be worth it. You simply turn in a log of your reading each week and those are your entries to win one of our six gift baskets. There are other ways to win though too – if you fill out online book reviews, you could win our Amazon gift card!
Our children's and family Summer Reading signup is also June 4 – both in the library and on-line. Our children and teen librarians have exciting summer plans so make sure to stop in or check our website to see what is happening each week. You want to make sure and sign up for the 1st/2nd and 3rd/4th grade reading clubs, our junior high and high school book clubs and other fun events that will run all summer long. There will be big events like Blank Park Zoo, Pockets Full of Fun Puppets, Dan Wardell from IPTV, CSI Sioux Center, Sioux Center's Got Talent AND MORE!!
Just don't miss out – we want to encourage reading this summer but also encourage fun and I think our librarians have accomplished JUST THAT!
Previous to this, I had not read anything by William Landay. But I picked up his latest book, Defending Jacob, and I do believe my jaw is STILL wide open – even finishing over a week ago! This book was not my typical read – I tend to not go to trial/lawyer stuff – it usually gets too deep into law for me. But this one was a riveting read – kept me going right from the start! It is the story of Jacob, a 14 year old boy, charged with murder of a school mate – BUT Jacob is also the son of Andy Barber, the assistant district attorney for more than 20 years, which adds a whole different twist to this small-town murder. There are turns all throughout this novel – and you really get involved as you can relate to the narrator, Andy, as he battles the doubt, fear, and worries that any parent would encounter going through a court case like this. I truly enjoyed this novel – it was tough but real. What leaves my jaw sagging is the ending – NO SPOILERS HERE – but if you read it – you must stop in and chat with me – I mean really, that's the end!?!?!? I demand a sequel!!!
Pick it up – it is well worth the read! It is a murder/thriller that is guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat!

Ravens Rock Rally
Monday, 26 June 2017 07:47
tel - (353) 051-895238
Monday, 26 June 2017 07:47
The 2017 Ravens Rock Tarmac Rally returns to Waterford city and county on the 24th and 25th of June. The rally is sponsored by Kilsheelan Limestone Quarries, Dooley's Hotel etc. The rally has been an annual feature in Irish Rallying since the early 1970's. It has had a nomadic relationship in the counties of Waterford, Kilkenny and Tipperary during the intervening years. Happily, it has put down roots (of a kind) in Waterford.
Without exception Co. Waterford has some of the most challenging roads and stages that rival the best that the famed Kerry, Galway and Donegal International rallies boast about. The terrain in Co. Waterford is varied between fast flowing roads in the broad valleys, to the testing twist mountain roads that are along the backbone mountain regions of the county.
Not alone does the Co. Waterford play host to the motorsport fraternity, it also has attractions for the families and friends of the competitors who enjoy a more social and relaxed rest on the many tourist related activities available throughout the county.
The recently opened Waterford Greenway is worthy of mention and promotion by all bodies who wish to promote what is so positive about the county attractions. The Television show "RED WATER" filmed in and around Dunmore East will also showcase the coastal attractions that dominate The natural boundary of a scenic coastline.
The Ravens Rock Tarmac Rally has proved its popularity with rally competitors and by sponsors of several rally championships, TRITON SHOWERS National Tarmac Rally Championship; SUIRWAY GROUP South East Stages Rally Championship; Plastic Bags Southern 4 Rally Championship. While this area does not have an International Rally, the Carrick-on-Suir event through its professional attitude and experience run this event to International Standards.
The reception that its organisers meet when canvassing support from businesses and more importantly from residents on the stages shows that the event is run in a manner that makes it an enjoyable event and experience for everybody. The Civil authorities, without whose co-operation the event may not run, lend their support and resources to assist the club and event to run as smoothly as possible.
The rally will be based in Dooley's Hotel, The Quay who have supported the events of Carrick on Suir Motor Club since the 1980's. Preparation for the event started when the 2016 event finished. So, it's not a quick look around to see what route is available. The personnel required to run the event are identified and the broad outline laid out on paper. The feasibility of the route is tested and tweaked,taking into account all the stakeholders from sponsors residents county council operations availability of the infrastructure required within the City limits to facilitate the Parc Ferme, Start and finish locations and a suitable service area.
The TRITON SHOWERS National Rally Championship is the 'showcase' Rally Championship in Ireland. The Championship attracts competitors from all regions of Ireland together with strong support from English and Welsh based crews. Rally in Ireland on closed roads is a major attraction for the cross-channel crews who normally compete on the disused airfields or military sites that may be available to them.
Indeed Ireland and Waterford has a rising World Rally Star who plies his trade and more importantly 'lives his dream' competing with the best in the world competitors on the WORLD RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP. Craig Breen competes with the Citroen World Rally team on events throughout the world rallying circuits. Craig cut his teeth on the stages within a 50 kilometre radius of Waterford before progressing to the more demanding events of the British and then the European rally Championships.
The rally is expected to attract a capacity entry to the Waterford venue.

| 12.8°C Belfast
EastEnders star Ricky Norwood has been suspended from the soap for two months after reports he exposed himself and smoked cannabis on video.
The actor, who plays Fatboy in the BBC soap, has apologised after details emerged of the clip that was apparently recorded during a conversation on Skype.
An EastEnders spokeswoman said: " Ricky Norwood has been suspended from the show for a period of two months with immediate effect. In addition, Ricky would like to apologise to EastEnders' viewers for any offence caused and for bringing the show into disrepute."
Norwood has been in the soap since 2010 and also appeared in the on-line spin-off show E20.
It comes 10 years after a newspaper printed pictures of Dirty Den actor Leslie Grantham taking part in cybersex.
The actor, who played the landlord of the Queen Vic when the show launched, issued a grovelling apology for the scandal which also saw him criticise his co-stars as ''brown-nosers'' and ''back-stabbers''.

Entrepreneurial "Leap" of Management Fellow Angie Hicks '95 Paid Big Dividends
May 11, 2014
"It was 1995, and Angie Hicks was about to graduate with an economics degree from a liberal arts college," begins a profile of the DePauw University graduate. "She thought she would go into some kind of management consulting, like most of her fellow colleagues. But she was young. So instead, she decided to take a leap."
The piece describes how Hicks, a Management Fellow at DePauw, joined a former boss, Bill Oesterle, to create Angie's List, a subscription-based review site for local service providers.
"Today, more than 2 million households use Angie's List to find quality reviews on local service companies," writes Lyndsey Gilpin. "More than 700 categories exist on the site, from roofers and plumbers to healthcare providers. An annual fee of $45 allows access to the thousands of detailed reviews on the site. The company also has a complementary monthly digital magazine that is region-specific, offering extra insights and compiled reviews for each area, and has evolved throughout the past couple of decades into a standard for the service industry."
Hicks, who serves as chief marketing officer for the company she co-founded, says, "Ignorance is bliss, there's little risk when you're 22. Now, there's different responsibilities. You take risks when you can, and you take calculated risks."
She also offers advice for aspiring entrepreneurs. "Take your work seriously, but don't take yourself too seriously," Hicks states. "Have fun at your job. Not every single day, but in the grand scheme of things you should be having fun. You spend so many hours of your life doing it, if you're not, quit and do something else."
You'll find the complete article at TechRepublic.
Angie Hicks, who also earned an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School, recently joined the board of directors of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce. In 2007, DePauw honored Angie Hicks with a Distinguished Alumni Award for Management and Entrepreneurship and she received the Robert C. McDermond Medal for Excellence in Entrepreneurship in 2009.Back

Where Do The Duckies Go?
"Where Do The Ducks Go?" was a nightmare for stage magicians to perform ever since Servais LeRoy invented it in 1909. Every duck produced had to have a trained duck handler to bring it off. Not so with Rubber Duckies. This small scale version uses kids from the audience to handle the Duckies and quack for them (with Duck Quacker Whistles or just saying "Quack!" every now and then). Meanwhile the Duckies appear and disappear by the ones, twos and dozens keeping the laughs going until the very end. My version is in The Wizards' Journal #35, but all you really need are the duckies and ideas to come up with your own variation.

From Lea: on Vin Diesel
I admit Vin isn"t going to ever win an Oscar but if you"ve ever watched fast and the furious, there is one scene that will send you into a fantasy world like no other. The scene where Vin Diesel and his girlfriend are in the garage working on Paul Walkers pimped out car, Vin and his girlfriend start to make out (standing up), he grabs her ass and lifts her up to carry to the couch.....Mmmmm. If you haven"t seen the movie - check this scene out, if you have - watch it again. Dear Lea, That"s precisely the scene that turned me off. If you watch it closely and also the love scene from XXX, you will note that the man is a HORRIBLE kisser. I mean we are talking fish sucking lips. Awful, awful, awful. Combine that with the Shrek head and the laughable acting and you get a goofy beefcake with absolutely NOTHING to offer my loins. Nothing at all.

The IntelifilTM Nitrate Cartridges utilize a white bead strong base anion resin for the selective removal of nitrates. Often found in rural areas, nitrate levels should not exceed 10 mg/L. This is especially important for newborn infants of up to six months. Competing ions, especially sulfate should be accounted for when calculating capacity. Influent and effluent nitrate levels should be monitored to ensure adequate removal.
*Filter life in gallons can be calculated by dividing 25,000 by the feed water nitrate's ppm (25000/XX ppm = Filter Life in Gallons).

Guy Gruters spent five years as a POW after his plane was shot down. Forty years ago, he was set free.
"Every day was a month. Every month was a year. Every year was a lifetime."
That is how Guy Gruters describes the more than five years he spent as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam.
Four decades after his release, Gruters, a graduate of Sarasota High School, has retired to Ohio.
The uncle of Republican Party of Sarasota County Chairman Joe Gruters speaks across the country about the journey of his capture, finding God, and about how his brother became a hero.
This year marked the 40th anniversary of Gruters' release from North Vietnam.
'A nightmare'
"When you woke up in the morning, it was like waking up into a nightmare."
A fighter pilot with the rank of captain, Gruters was shot down twice in his second tour of Vietnam, in which he volunteered for a top-secret unit flying at low altitudes to scout enemy targets.
The first time, he was rescued.
A month later, on Dec. 20, 1967, the then-25-year-old was captured by North Vietnamese soldiers.
Gruters was stuck in a small concrete cell, shared with all manner of vermin. About 5:45 each morning, a Communist soldier would come to his door, dumping his bucket of waste. Prisoners were allowed a weekly wash.
He would be given a liter of water polluted with dead worms and small loaf of bread full of droppings and live bugs. He ate that meal twice a day for five years and three months.
Prisoners were given two sets of pajamas — no socks or shoes. In the summer, temperatures would soar. They would lie with their faces against the concrete floor, breathing in fresh air from cracks beneath the door.
In the winter, the mercury would drop into the 30s. Prisoners would be stripped and forced to kneel while guards drenched them with buckets of cold water.
"You were shivering all day and night," Gruters said.
'Absolute agony'
Russian and North Vietnamese soldiers tortured the prisoners regularly.
Gruters recalls a particularly excruciating position in which he would be bound "like a pretzel." Ropes tied tightly around his elbows, cutting off his circulation, were bound together until the joints touched behind his back. "It dislocates one of your shoulders."
Then Gruters' ankles were shackled with irons and positioned above his head. When the prisoners would scream, rags were stuffed in their mouths.
At first, the interrogative torture was twice a day. Then 10 times a week. Then two or three times a week.
But Gruters would not break. "We were trained to make it look like you're broken, then give them garbage."
The prisoners developed a communication system, used to collaborate their stories and maintain sanity with human contact — even if it was through thick concrete.
"It was important to fight as a unit and handle it the same way," he said. "We gave a united front."
At first, the soldiers used Morse code, but dots and dashes do not translate well when tapped lightly on a concrete wall. The soldiers devised another tapping system. Replacing a K with a C, the prisoners made a 25-letter alphabet divided into five five-letter groups — ABCDE, FGHIJ, LMNOP, QRSTU, VWXYZ.
"I can tap any letter with two sets of taps," Gruters explained: the first set would determine the group of five; the second, the letter within that group. "Ears against the walls, tapping lightly. One word like that all day."
For the first two and a half years, Gruters was tapping back-and-forth with Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz — "seven years my senior.
"A tremendous friend."
Turning to God
When he wasn't tapping, Gruters was praying.
He had grown up an altar boy in a faithful Catholic family, but inside that prison cell he formed a true relationship with God — "the only way to get through it."
Before being captured, Gruters thought of God in a big-picture sense. "I had no idea that he really does control every detail until prison camp. I saw his power. Prison camp was the best thing that ever happened to me."
Gruters attributes success in his marriage and raising his eight children to those years of meditation. He learned to never be vindictive or hold grudges.
"It took me many months of prayer to get over the hatred," Gruters said. "Then I started praying to get them to heaven even though they were hurting us."
For the last three years of his imprisonment, Gruters had peace.
"I wasn't worried because I knew he was in charge," Gruters said. "If he wanted us out of there, we were going home. If we didn't go home, that's fine. He knows best."
'Bombed his brother out'
Gruters prayed for hours each day, and so did his family. His mother and aunt made a pact.
"They got together every day and prayed for him," said his brother, Terry Gruters, Joe Gruters' father. "As far as I'm concerned, the prayers are probably why he got out."
Terry Gruters, who graduated from Sarasota High in 1963, followed his older brother. He went to the Air Force Academy, graduating one year after news of his brother's capture. He completed 10 months of pilot training before taking "the assignment that would get me to Vietnam the quickest."
On his third tour, Terry Gruters took part in a mission that led to his brother's release: Operation Linebacker II, more commonly referred to as the 11-Day War.
In the days surrounding Christmas 1972, Terry Gruters and others bombed the North Vietnam capital of Hanoi.
"By the 11th day, there was no more," Terry Gruters said. "They gave up and said, 'We're going to the peace table.' "
Guy Gruters considers his younger brother a hero: "He literally bombed his brother out of prison camp."
'From hell to heaven'
The prisoners had no idea.
By that point, Gruters had been transferred to his seventh and final camp — this one near Hanoi in the foothills of the Himalayas.
Once a month, a truck carrying rations for the 200 prisoners would travel to camp. A week after the truck left, prisoners heard shifting gears in the distance. The soldiers — no longer in solitary — were on one another's shoulders to look out a small vent.
Nineteen trucks arrived in three hours. The next day, the men were thrown in. On March 14, 1973, they were freed.
Eventually, they made their way to the Philippines. After a stop in Hawaii, Gruters was sent to Alabama, where he saw his parents, wife and children for the first time in more than five years.
"The real trauma is with the families," said Terry Gruters, who waited until the next day to see his brother. Accustomed to the military, he knew to expect trouble.
Guy told him, " 'Terry, I'm doing what I believe in, so don't ever feel sorry for me,' " Terry Gruters said. "That's not something you can say to your wife or mother, but you can say it to a fellow soldier."
That preparation did not shield Terry Gruters from the shock of seeing his 6-foot-3 brother — 220 pounds when deployed. He weighed 150 pounds. "This guy, who was the picture of health five years earlier, looks like a corpse who's talking."
Guy Gruters said seeing his family was "ecstasy."
Although he took a long time to recover, Gruters was mostly unfazed. He did not notice the changes in the United States, because everything was so different from his time in prison.
"Free to live, work, worship, speak," Gruters said. "It's like we came from hell to heaven."
Gruters was later a pilot for Eastern Airlines and an international account representative for International Business Machines. He worked for Pearl Vision and McCrory Corp. He also joined his brother in PC Software Accounting, which Terry Gruters still operates in Southwest Florida.
Guy and Sandy Gruters, who Guy met on a blind date in Sarasota during time off from the Air Force Academy, had five more children and adopted another. They live on 10 acres in Sidney, Ohio.
Guy Gruters recently compiled his best 13 speeches for publication in "Locked Up With God."
This week, he joined 200 of fellow prisoners at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library in California. It was on the 40th anniversary of March 24, 1973, when Nixon held a White House dinner after Operation Homecoming, in which 591 POWs were returned.
Asked if he would go through it all again, Gruters said, "Absolutely. You've got to fight the war that has to be fought. I'm very happy I got to fight.
"I'm very confident on Judgment Day that God will say it was a war worth fighting."

What do consumers think about annuities? Not much — leaving plenty of room for advisors to change that, according to a Genworth survey.
The survey found 68% of respondents who don't own an annuity have a positive or neutral impression of them. Among owners, 91% had a positive or neutral impression.
Just 8% of annuity owners and 23% of non-owners had a negative view of the products.
However, while respondents reported mostly not-negative feelings about annuities, they weren't exactly raving about them. Regardless of whether they owned an annuity or not, more than half of consumers said they were neutral about them.
According to Genworth, that means there are opportunities for advisors who have clients that might benefit from annuities.
As part of the report, Genworth surveyed more than 1,300 retirees and pre-retirees and found almost three-quarters of pre-retirees expect to retire on time, despite less than half of retired respondents saying they were able to retire on their expected date.
Among the pre-retirees who were afraid they might not retire when they planned to, money was the main thing holding them back. More than three-quarters said they would not have enough money when they retired and 36% said expenses would be too high.
That's a legitimate concern, considering 64% of retired respondents said their expenses increased after they retired.
Genworth also conducted interviews with financial professionals and held focus groups with both professionals and consumers. The firm also surveyed 300 professionals online for the report.
Genworth found the advisors who sold the most fixed indexed annuities were targeting clients in their 40s with a moderate risk tolerance. Among all advisors selling fixed index annuities, most were targeting clients in their 50s with a low tolerance for risk.
"The findings suggest that producers need to consider a broader target profile for annuity prospects," Charlie Gipple, national director of index products at Genworth, said in a statement. "Successful sellers are recommending annuities to younger, more risk tolerant consumers and positioning it as a vehicle for a wider array of retirement funds."
However, Genworth also found many consumers aren't being approached by their advisor to talk about annuities. Among non-owners, 40% said they would consider buying one, but their advisor has never mentioned it.
Genworth suggested advisors aren't talking about annuities with their clients because they expect resistance, and they aren't necessarily wrong. Almost 60% of consumers said they don't need an annuity because they already have enough predictable income. Among people who were considering buying an annuity, 53% said they'd rather invest directly in the market.
"Many financial professionals simply don't present annuities to their clients, perhaps believing that these products have a bad reputation among consumers," Gipple said. "Our research shows that this is not universally true."
Sixty percent of annuity owners and 61% of those considering buying an annuity said they would pay extra fees for products with downside protection and upside potential.
Naturally, owners of annuities that performed as they expected them to were more satisfied than other owners. Genworth stressed that advisors be very clear about what to expect with an annuity to keep clients happy.

For the first time in his career, Erik Koch doesn't have to be disappointed when friends say they can't make it to his fight.
"I'm like, 'Dude, it's cool. Watch it on FOX,'" Koch (13-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) recently told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio).
Potentially the biggest crowd of Koch's career could be watching him Saturday at UFC on FOX 6, which takes place at United Center in Chicago. He leads off the FOX-televised main card in a bout against fellow Midwesterner Ricardo Lamas (12-2 MMA, 3-0 UFC) following prelims on FX and Facebook.
The Milwaukee resident earned his stripes on the local circuit and later graduated to the WEC. At best, half a million people watched him on Versus, which broadcast the now-defunct promotion. Millions likely will catch him for this fight, and it's just a short drive from Milwaukee to Chicago.
Koch said it was "the coolest thing" to watch ads for the event while recently watching his beloved San Francisco 49ers, even if he was surrounded by Green Bay Packers fans.
Of course, the added attention comes with pressure. Although the UFC hasn't told him that a win over Lamas will guarantee a title shot, he's surely figured out a loss would rob him of that opportunity.
Koch already saw one chance slip through his fingers when he tore his ACL training for a fight with champ Jose Aldo at UFC 149. When he steps into the cage on Saturday, it will have been 16 months since he most recently fought.
But the 24-year-old fighter doesn't seem worried.
"I'm ready," he said. "I've been training MMA since I was 10 years old. I've been fighting since I was 16. I'm not worried about ring rust at all."
Whether he gets a title shot or not, Koch is focused on putting away Lamas.
"It's not necessarily the spot where we're at," he said. "I'm just that type of guy. I don't like decisions. I don't like not finishing the guy. I won the fight, but I don't feel I did everything I could. I go into every fight looking for a knockout, submission, or a finish."
Koch found great success with that inside the octagon. All but one of his past four opponents didn't make it out of the first round.
Meanwhile Lamas, who hails from the Chicago suburbs, has finished two of his three past opponents, and most recently notched a decision win over the highly regarded Hatsu Hioki.
It's an opponent Koch doesn't take lightly, even though he believes Lamas has flown under the radar.
"Every fight in the UFC is dangerous," he said. "Ricardo is a super tough dude. He beat No. 2 Hioki and Cub Swanson, who's on a tear recently. So he's right up there for title contention. But that's what I want, the toughest fights."

Angels vs. Rangers Series II – No Aspirin Necessary This Time, Only Celebrations!!
Hey, better late than never, right?
So, when last the Angels played the Rangers I wrote that their one victory answered the question of "Can the Angels compete with the Rangers?' in the affirmative but that the massive beating the team took for the rest of the series left us with a new question, 'will the Angels compete with the Rangers?' Well, I am happy to be able to write that this series left not a doubt in my mind on either count. The Angels can and will compete with the Rangers in 2012!
Okay, so the Angels didn't look so hot on Sunday. I blame that on some serious celebrating the night before. Oh, I don't have any factual evidence to support my theory but let's just say that some of them sure seemed to be reacting to that sun in the time honored fashion of the moderately hung over. As for the Mariners series, well it's been hit and miss but the Angels are still showing a lot of fight, an essential characteristic for future wins and, indeed, a hallmark of the Texas series. The Angels aren't letting many opposing runs go unanswered these days and it is fun to watch.
Saturday night was an odd game. Neither starting pitcher was dealing, neither team went wild with the bats and neither team avoided a few serious fielding flubs. In the end, it came down to Angels base running and Angels fielding in the sense of the team being a well oiled turning two machine. Also, the Angels' errors seemed to come at less crucial times…and no one decided to begin pouting to an umpire with no thought of completing a play, just sayin'. And can I just say that it was downright giddy making to see the first three guys in the lineup – Mike Trout (who is Superman by the way, check it out), Alberto Callaspo and Albert Pujols – hitting the ball, getting on base, causing chaos on the basepaths and generally doing exactly what the first three guys in any lineup are supposed to do. Was it a pretty win? No, not by any means. But it was a win and honestly it was darned fun game to watch.
As for my photos, I'm getting a little tired of the same old, same old guys taking a monster swing, guys diving back to the bag and guys making a catch photos. So to switch it up a bit, for this game I am only using photos that made me smile or even laugh. Enjoy!

I love the shirt! And you look good with your hair up, but I can relate to it, I also hate putting my hair up, when I had extensions all the way down to my hips it was unbearable during summer, and i just wrapped it all on top of my head, I usually looked like some birds had taken up residence on my head.ReplyDelete

Awhh I really like your hair in this, its messy but in the good way, especially with a classic headband. r xReplyDelete

nice boots
Have you thought about layering it a bit? I just got mine done and I swear it's taken pounds off its weight and made it so much easier (like fifty million times easier) to wear down. The only problem is that now, when I DO need to wear it up, it requires a lot more effort because of those layers! :pReplyDelete
I wish my hair would be as half as thick as yours! But i know what you mean about wearing your hair down when it's hot. It's like being in hell. Even with thin hair like mine :DReplyDelete
I really like this outfit and your sunglases!ReplyDelete

You look cute with your hurr up, gurrr. I only like peanut dressings but yeah, the thick, jarred, cement-type sickens me. I used to HATE pickles but now I like it when it's sliced in burgers and stuff, especially if that burger is IN-N-OUT but I LOVE... BAT WINGS! So, way to go!ReplyDelete
Tropic of Unicorn
Ughhh look at you, being all adorable and perfect again. I love your hair up- sort of in awe of how thick and gorgeous it is. I've spent my life with omgsuchunbelievably thin hair, and would do some shameful things to make it as thick as yours is.ReplyDelete
Also- love the location, love the post title, and love the beautiful facial photo...yet another thing I can't do: wear cool lipstick and not look terrifying.
Killer outfit! I love how you managed to find a pair of light denim shorts that don't do weird things to the crotch area (am I the only who is seeing that happen all the time?!)ReplyDelete

Anyways, I feel you about the hair. My mane is crazy crazy crazy thick and dark brown. 10 degrees hotter seems to be an understatement, actually. I'm also glad that someone else doesn't like peanut butter (:

We always enjoy a good fan protest, and if there's a place one is more warranted than in Baltimore, we don't know of one.
A group of Orioles fans, organized (of course) by a radio station, is putting together a big protest of owner Peter Angelos on September 21. Fans will march from the Inner Harbor, wearing all black, and then end up at Camden Yards for a 4:05 game against the Tigers, a game they will almost certainly lose.
Of course, if just to further emphasize how much Angelos has Baltimore fans by the proverbial testicles (great band name!), this protest requires actually buying tickets to the game. The organizers are trying to find a way around this.
We STRONGLY encourage you to buy the CHEAPEST tickets possible and to avoid all of the interior concessions once inside the ballpark. Hotdogs and drinks are "cheaper on the outside." We are NOT trying to spend money with this ownership group. We're trying to do the bare minimum to enter the ballpark.
To be fair, we know lots of people who don't feel all that comfortable milling around outside Camden Yards either.

Tension among Republicans in the Senate this morning nearly boiled over during a caucus meeting regarding legislation to create new tax credits for the film industry.
Some oppose the proposal, and at least one Republican tried to keep the bill from advancing to the floor by invoking an informal rule to block the bill's progress.
But the bill's chief proponent, Sen. John Nelson, R-Litchfield Park, was ready and countered the move by showing the proposal is supported by at least half of Senate Republicans.
Under the majority's rules, any Republican senator can block a measure by publicly asking for it to be held – unless the sponsor can show the bill has the support of at least half of the caucus, or 11 Republican senators.
Tension was palpable in the Senate Republican caucus when Sen. Ron Gould, R-Lake Havasu City, a fierce critic of the measure, said he wanted a copy of Nelson's list of supporters for HB2127 so that he could cross-check it against those who actually would vote for the bill when it goes to the floor.
When Nelson stood up to retrieve the list from Gould, Gould instead held the piece of paper over Nelson's head for a few seconds before giving it back.
"We have the right to know," Gould protested.
Senate President Steve Pierce clearly didn't like what happened.
"We've been doing this wrong," he said, referring to the majority's informal rules. "We can talk about it if you guys can be patient."
After discussing a few more bills, Senate Republicans met behind closed doors to discuss what procedures should govern contentious legislation.
After the meeting, however, senators said the issue remained unresolved.
Nelson's bill would allow filmmakers to get a 20 percent tax credit for at least $250,000 in production expenses. The tax credit is increased by 5 percent if they use an Arizona studio for at least half of the production.
Critics argue that targeted tax incentives pick winners and losers, and lawmakers should instead be looking at broad-based tax cuts to spur the economy.
Supporters, however, say the incentives would help Arizona compete with other states, which also offer tax credits to filmmakers.
The next stop for HB2127 is the Senate floor for debate and vote.
